DMX Splitting...

[Flyboy]

I'm familiar with DMX splitters to go from a single input to multiple outputs, but does anyone know if there exists a means to go from multiple sources to a single output? (ie. from two different boards to a single DMX line)?

Grog, is this necessary? I just found the VGA, E-net, DMX, and 6 pin (RFU?) connectors in the house.

Should I assume something was installed in the system to allow both data inputs? Should I be checking specification sheets?

I'm not positive how the e-net is helpful, which I assume runs from booth to house. The VGA I assume runs from booth to house, which would be helpful for a designer... sorta... if we had one... or an extra monitor... The RFU... I'm not sure why that needs to be in the house, and I assume that runs from booth to house. The data I'm assuming runs from booth & house to dimmers...

Odds are that VGA connection is dead, was probably in the pannel when it was installed. Ethernet is great if you have SN110 nodes.

You can merge DMX, its gets to be a pain but is doable. Do a search, it have been discussed before. Do a search for hight takes precedence.

VGA is dead? Why would it be dead?

Not hooked up, Sorry. People LOVE to put in vga connectors in panels, but when they go to install they rarely ever run copper to the plug. Could be they did, but I doubt it.

I bet it's hooked up. I just don't see a use for the E-net to the middle of the house... or the RFU... maybe the board... But, the VGA could be useful for running video for a projector if we ever mount one in the canopy.

What runs from your board to the dimmers? DMX or ethernet? Its probably for a tech table, not as an output. Strand has been specking ethernet everywhere since the roll out of the 300/500 series.

The reason for the RFU is that in case the designer is sitting in the house, designing, he/she can use the RFU as wanted.

What is for the tech table? E-net? I guess they didn't realize we have wireless internet everywhere? That makes sense though. The e-net only runs between the house and booth. The RFU, I'm still not sure about... I'd rather the PDA based RRFU style thing.
